Per tradition, the Met Gala always takes place on the first Monday in May. This year, the extravagant event is scheduled for May 1, 2023.
Who will perform at Met Gala 2023?
This year, Vogue announced the four global cultural icons who will grab a chair at her coveted round table to help set the scene include: Grammy-winning performer Dua Lipa, Emmy-winning actress Michaela Coel, Oscar winner Penélope Cruz and tennis superstar Roger Federer. In addition to the theme, the esteemed attendees must abide by a specific dress code: “In honor of Karl.” While there are several ways to interpret the theme, the dress code narrows the task for curators to effectively salute the icon.
Upon announcing the code, Vogue put forth several suggestions to do it justice. Its first and “most authentic” approach? Don an archival look from one of the labels Lagerfeld led (Balmain, Patou, Chloé, Fendi or Chanel, for example.)
